Likely, I get them confused.

Terry Pratchet wrote in Good Omens that the apocalypse horsemen Pestilence was slain by the advent of penicillin.

From my own head:

Mercury was killed to bring about the Internet.

Athena was not killed, but severely weakened to domesticate the herd animals.

We sacrificed Fenris for lap dogs.

I love this thread and will be working some of this into my next RPG storyline.

Also WoD:

Player: I’m a mage I’m literally changing reality, I will cure that vampire.

System: vampirism is a curse from God, do you really think you can roll more successes than God?

They used them all up

Prescott gets messed up more often, but Avondale is a trap also. I couldn’t figure out what someone meant when they pronounced Avondale like it started with the name of the MLM cosmetic company.

I like this because the app would also tell them exactly where to come look for the offenders car.

By your content I’m going to discuss regional, not local service. For context I’m in one of the top 10 most populous cities in the country. There is no regional rail service. That’s how bad it is. In order to catch a train, it’s a 2 hour drive to a much smaller city.

But let’s look at a train trip I wanted to take. All west coast, Portland, OR to San Diego, CA. There is at least rail service that would do it. I think it took 48 ish hours with a middle of the night layover in Los Angeles. The drive is about 16 hours. The flight is about 2.

When it exists, it’s slow and super inconvenient.

I’d argue you need correspondence to cast it to a place you can’t see, but that’s just how I run it, every table is different.

Someone stole your purchase, police should never call that a civil matter. Cops aren’t going to help anyway, but without the police report neither is BB, DD and ultimately your bank because the lack of getting police involved makes it look like you are committing fraud. Get the police report and get it to your bank before the back concludes their investigation because it’s harder to reopen one once it’s closed.

If you don’t take AZ and NV with you, you will get your Colorado River water cut off and lose a lot of farming power. That might even require UT. Unless it’s only Northern California included, in which case you still lose that agriculture, and possible land based trade lines to Mexico. It’s not a clean and pretty separation.

SRP, but they’re pulling the same shit, protecting outdated business models.

If that person lives where I do, the local power company has stupidly high rates for doing that. The only real way to save is to go completely off grid. There are two plans, one pays you almost nothing for the excess solar produced, the other charges you “high demand” rates if you exceed some arbitrary usage number at your peak even if you produced all the power yourself. It’s so freaking confusing for no reason other than to punish you for trying to offset your power bill with solar energy.

Walmart has Spark which is a delivery network they control that’s similar to door dash but AFAIK doesn’t require any logos on the vehicles.

When I worked for a bank call center the first question before initiating the dispute/chargeback process is “did you attempt to resolve this with the merchant first?” It is a requirement for doing the dispute. OP needs to clearly say yes, and they prevent it by not letting me speak to a human.

OP should also file a police report immediately. They won’t care, but at least the store can’t accuse OP of not following properof procedures.

Download the Phyphox app to access your phones raw sensor data. Very much like a tricorder.

Check out the app Phyphox, it uses all your existing sensors and probably surpasses tricorders in several ways while, of course, lacking in a few others.

I could have been that neighbor. For many years I was a WiFi communist and intentionally kept my AP open. I depended on free WiFi to get through college so I provided free WiFi. Then I got a cease and desist from my ISP for someone pirating a shit ton of porn. Like the list was about 10 full length pornos. Had to lock it down after that. I’ve considered making some deals with my neighbors to extend my mesh network into their house in exchange for space in their driveway, but haven’t gotten around to it.

So long.

Thanks for welcoming us Lemm.ee refugees.
